Bathurst Gormans Hill

Bathurst and Gormans Hill are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Bathurst is a more walkable, diverse hub where 24.9% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher and 27.3% of the population are recent arrivals from overseas. Gormans Hill is much more car-dependent and has a significantly older population; the typical resident is 53, compared to 41 in Bathurst. This age gap is reflected in health and support needs, with people needing help with daily activities being far higher in Gormans Hill at 27.4% compared to 8.8% in Bathurst.

These two areas share a very similar typical weekly family income of around $1,640. They also have nearly identical proportions of children under 15 and similar school sizes. However, the gap in accessibility is stark; Bathurst is a walker's paradise with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Gormans Hill is mostly car-dependent with only 7.2% of homes having such access.
